The Secretary will begin his trip in London, the United Kingdom, where he will meet with senior British officials to discuss the range of bilateral and global issues on which we are closely coordinating.

During his visit to Berlin, Secretary Kerry will conduct his first "Youth Connect" event, where he will speak with German young people to exchange views and hear their thoughts about global affairs.

I wish Secretary Kerry all the best in his new job. As Secretary opf State he now has the opportunity to steer and direct America's Foreign Policy with vision and foresight given the new challenges facing it - world wide.I am particularly keen to see him handle the Eritro Ethiopian standoff immediately. All one needs to see here is what is going on in Nigeria,Mali etc.This will go a long way in stablising regional and global peace.
